As the clock is quickly ticking down until the dancers stand here at the BJC, singer and songwriter Hannah Richardson took the stage and performed her rendition of ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon. Richardson was warmly introduced as a new member of the THON family.

The chance to perform at THON is a big honor for Richardson, especially because, according to her website, she has been incredibly involved with her school’s mini-THON.

Though a newcomer to the THON stage, Richardson is no stranger to a Happy Valley crowd. Last December, Richardson performed at Penn State’s Greek Sing, where she received a standing ovation after opening the show.

Richardson was requested to perform during THON’s pre-show, and she stunned the crowd inside the BJC. You can watch a studio recording of her ‘Imagine’ below.
